Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

But it's okay.

Even if I can only look at it.

He's handsome too!

It's all about prestige!

That's enough.

Dragapult was even larger than Tyranitar. Togekigu stood on its head, explaining the outside world to Dragapult while chatting and laughing with it.

To be honest, Doronbarto, who didn't have Doronmesia on its head, felt a little more satisfied after Pokkigu stood on its head.

It was as if an elf was meant to stand on its head.

Step out of the ruins.

The dazzling light, the warm sunshine, the verdant forest, the vast space and sky filled Dorombaluto's eyes with stars.

Seeing this scene, Pokkigu felt like someone who had been there before, seeing his own reflection in Dorombalut when he had just left the underground tunnel.

“It’s just right.”

'Big, right?'

Dorombalut kept looking around, feeling a sense of wonder at everything.

Sometimes it flies up to the tree and eats a bite of bitter leaves, sometimes it lands on the ground, feeling the softness of the soil and withered leaves, and smelling the fragrance and faint smell of decay in the air.

These were all things it had never seen or felt before.

"Baruya—"

Suddenly, Dorombalto, who was having a great time, raised his head again and gazed into the distance.

The feeling of being called out became more and more obvious.

Xia Yan followed its gaze, across a vast distance, and saw a towering cliff, after which nothing could be seen.

That cliff was the home of Warrior Eagle and Vulture Na.

"Bear with it for a bit, we'll take you to see it once we've rested up." Xia Yan gently placed his hand on Dorombalut's smooth, cool body.

Warrior Eagle and Bald Eagle were also among his targets.

His original plan was to deal with the Ancient Giant Dragonfly and the Archaeopteryx first, and then try to deal with the Warrior Eagle and the Vulture Na at the end.

Once the Pokémon reach the elite level, they will no longer have no chance against Gym Leader-level Pokémon.

However, changing the order slightly for the sake of Dorambaruto is not out of the question.

“Baruya…”

Dorombalut nodded blankly.

It didn't know what was calling it, but a voice in its heart told it to go and see, it absolutely had to go and see.

After calming down Balto the dragon, Xia Yan led the group of elves towards their residence.

He was still riding on the back of the Tyranitar, while only Togekigu sat on the head of the Dragapult.

Meanwhile, Dracobalut slowly flew up beside the Tyrannosaurus Rex, making it feel very uncomfortable.

When Dorombalto flies, its entire body lies sideways, like a bullet, a blue arrow.

Xia Yan was curious to see how fast it would go when it flew at full speed.

...

...

Back at my residence.

Xia Yan's "employees," the cherry blossoms, came to greet him.

Upon seeing Dramberto, they were briefly stunned, but after Togekiku and Natsuhiko introduced him to Sakura, the Sakura quickly accepted Dramberto's existence.

Dorombalut also took a liking to these tiny and adorable little guys.

The cherry blossoms chattered excitedly as they introduced various things to Dorombalut: flowers, trees, even stones, as well as tree fruits and energy cubes.

As they talked, the conversation somehow turned to Xia Yan and how they got to know him, and how, through their tireless "efforts," they "saw through" Xia Yan's true personality.

With Pokkiku and Natsuhiko's cherry blossoms adding fuel to the fire, Natsuhiko's image in Dorambaruto's mind gradually became more complete and three-dimensional.

The look in Dorambaruto's eyes as he looked at Xia Yan also showed some emotional fluctuations.

Xia Yan didn't pay much attention to this.

Seeing that Dorambaruto and the elves were having a lot of fun, he didn't stop them.

Play more and play well, and you can build bonds so that Draco won't just run away.

Just like he said.

Even if it's just keeping it by your side to watch.

It's comfortable too.

Moreover, he could indeed take Dorombalto to see more things.

It's a win-win collaboration.

With a smile, he massaged and treated the bodies of each Pokémon that had participated in the battle.

This is also to better understand the state of Kadabra and Togekiku after their strength has been enhanced.

This matter has become a "required course" for him.

Almost every other day, he would give the elves a full massage and check-up to ensure their condition and prevent any potential problems after the frequent battles.

After Xia Yan finished massaging each of the Pokémon, they all showed expressions of great enjoyment and comfort.

Pokkigu has even fallen asleep during Natsuhiko's massages on numerous occasions.

Xia Yan's massage techniques and skills are already quite proficient.

He might be relatively unfamiliar with other Pokémon, but he knows his own Pokémon very well.

For example, he knew very well that the most comfortable spot to massage Beedrill was in the middle of the two black rings on its abdomen, while for Kadabra it was between its eyebrows, and for Togekiku it was on its two pairs of small wings. Even Double Sheath would enjoy having its blades polished every day by Xia Yan using a special whetstone.

It's no exaggeration to say that Xia Yan has already begun to grasp the basics of nurturing talent.

By the time we finished doing all that, it was getting dark.

He rubbed his wrist.

This massage routine is a huge test for his arms and wrists.

But he can't rest yet; there's still an important "object" he needs to take care of.

Take out the incubator.

The nutrient solution in the incubator has become much lighter in color, and the egg is absorbing more nutrients.

In addition, Xia Yan added a lot of materials that are very useful for Dragon-type Pokémon in order to nurture this Dragon-type Pokémon egg.

But today, he wants to try something new.

He took out a palm-sized, brightly colored scale from his backpack; it even felt slightly metallic to the touch.

Dragon scales!

He wanted to try to extract the dragon-type energy from the dragon scales and inject it into the incubator so that the Pokémon egg could absorb it.

This will definitely maximize the concentration of the dragon bloodline in the egg-shaped sprite, accumulating talent for it before it fully hatches.

"Baruya!"

but.

When Xia Yan took out the incubator, Doronbalut, who was having a great time playing with Sakura and the others, suddenly froze.

He stared blankly at Xia Yan.

More accurately, he was looking at the elf egg in the incubator in front of him.

With a slight twist of its body and a flick of its tail, it gave a final twitch.

It appeared in front of Xia Yan, staring intently at the incubator in front of him.

His narrow eyes were wide open.

It didn't know why it was doing this, or even what its purpose was in approaching.

All it knows is... it has to come over.

An instinctive love for young dragon-type Pokémon.

Chapter 176 Can I keep this?

"What's wrong, Dragapult?" Xia Yan asked, looking at Dragapult who had come up to him and was staring intently at the Pokémon egg.

"Baruya—"

Dorombalut shook his head, unable to explain why.

Xia Yan vaguely guessed why it did this, but he didn't stop what he was doing.

Extracting the dragon-type energy from dragon scales is undoubtedly a troublesome task, but if it can be done, the benefits to the Pokémon egg are self-evident.

Dragon scales are formed from the natural shedding of the reverse scales of powerful dragon-type Pokémon.

The molding conditions are very demanding.

First of all, the concentration of the dragon bloodline in this dragon-type Pokémon must be high enough, otherwise the reverse scale will not appear at all.

Some elves, whose names simply contain the word "dragon," rarely grow a reverse scale.

Secondly, one must be strong enough; otherwise, the damage caused by losing even a single scale may be irreparable for a lifetime.

Even if a powerful Dragon-type Pokémon loses a scale, it will still have to pay a heavy price.

Therefore, trainers generally do not ask their Pokémon to do this.

Therefore, most dragon scales belong to wild dragon-type Pokémon and are prepared for young dragon-type Pokémon to bring out their latent dragon bloodline.
